GENIUS! Kevin’s method of presenting and reinforcing musical concepts is brilliant.
He is a master at the art and science of teaching.

What’s Different?

Top recommended teacher for piano lessons, guitar lessons, and voice lessons. I
have been teaching piano lessons and guitar lessons for over 20 years. I’m a highly
referred piano teacher and guitar teacher serving the Conejo Valley areas of Thousand
Oaks, Westlake Village, Agoura, and Newbury Park, and Camarilllo. I also offer music
lessons with a combination of piano, guitar, or voice instruction. Please contact
Connect the Dots Music at info@connectthedotsmusic.com.

Connect the Dots Music is the most effective method of learning to play music. Kids,
teens, and adults learn visually, aurally, and kinesthetically through instruction,
real-life examples, practice, and games. So, they understand concepts better and
retain more of what they learn.

Piano, guitar, and voice lessons in Westlake Village / Thousand Oaks

Imagine having to learn the mechanics and physics of bike riding before being able
to ride a bike. Traditional lessons follow this approach. On the other hand, methods
that promise immediate results put you on a bike with training wheels that never
come off. And neither of these teach you how to do anything else like race with
a friend, do “wheelies”, or the many other ways to enjoy bike riding.

Here’s what I do: I start students riding immediately, so they can work on the coordination.
And then we start raising the training wheels so that students can continue the
joy of riding while they’re learning how to do it without training wheels. Then
we can integrate the advanced stuff like “wheelies,” racing, etc. This is where
the lifelong enjoyment of music happens. Students who don’t learn this usually become
the adults who say they used to be able to play an instrument, but can’t anymore.

The Bike Analogy

"Piano Man" by Billy Joel is one of my favorite songs to play with piano and harmonica.
I thought I’d add a couple more instruments for fun.
